Far Behind 03:28
FAR BEHIND Let’s escape this place tonight March across this frozen river Safely to the shore together To the warm glow of the city lights Before they know, we’ll be away Pulled by what once kept us apart Alone with all these stars A broken compass points the way And the dustiest streets cracking under your feet To the rhythm of the cartwheels going by And if I can’t find you, I will remind you To meet me in the city of the night And I’ll keep your dreams with mine You can’t be far behind My message will still ring true Written in a life so long I want to sing it in a song So I can hold you This city is a magical place Joyful tears illuminated By the power generated By the smile on your face And the further we get from the last place we left The easier it will seem to be And the farther we travel the more we unravel The more we're beginning to see And I’ll keep your dreams with mine You can’t be far behind

ANOTHER ROUND Everyone knows what you’re after, chasing storms wherever you go You say I’m a disaster, a category hurricane four Your kind of love It’s just what I need Hand over head Head over feet Tumbling down Were both gonna do what we’re meant to do I’ll go another round with you You can’t predict I’ll run a straight line Only touching down in the end No damage is done in the heartland I’ll come to rest but you won’t know when If you wiling to wait, I’ll be late but be there Willing to wait Willing to work it out Willing to let is pass You know what I’m all about Your kind of love It’s just what I need Hand over head Head over feet Tumbling down I’ll go another round with you

STANDING AT MY DOOR I didn’t mean to lead you on Maybe I should have said goodbye But all my words came out wrong And now they’re standing at my door tonight Now I see what brought you here And all the miles you had to fly All that distance disappeared With you standing at my door tonight So I’m sorry, sorry that I’m gonna let you down But I’m not the one that took that flight And I know you were hoping for The best night of your life I didn’t mean to lead you here Where all your stars have now aligned And all my words have come out wrong And now they’re standing at my door tonight

Melting 02:52
MELTING You came back in November As cold as the weather Everything freezing so fast Trying to get back the feeling From the heat you’d been stealing We both knew that it couldn’t last It’s a long way to walk through the snow To fan the flames of a love you already know For me it is frozen in time And melting won’t make you mine I took the chill from your hands dear But still you couldn’t get warm here Frost on the tears in your eye As the Spring thaws the spirit You could already hear it The sound of my saying good-bye It’s a long way to walk through the snow To fan the flames of a love you already know For me it is frozen in time And melting won’t make you mine

AFTER THE SURVEILLANCE STATE Before I see you tonight And I want to say your name Before we start drinking Before the song takes you away When you are still a little shy When it is hard to raise a smile Before the flashing lights Before the flashing lights Sights pinned on the prize Under curfew city at night Pursed lips and street lit eyes Sharp turns and straight lines This plan is set in motion We’ll blow the whole thing wide open Hear the whistle blow Through the blue green ocean After the surveillance state After we wake this giant After they’re running scared After they see all our numbers They’ll sound the air raid sirens They’ll sound the air raid sirens Now that we are almost free Before I see you tonight And I am lost for you Before the all seeing eye Knows everything we do This plan is set in motion We’ll blow this whole thing wide open Hear the whistle blow Through the blue green ocean After the surveillance state After we wake this giant After they’re running scared After they see all our numbers They’ll sound the air raid sirens They’ll sound the air raid sirens Now that we are almost free, let’s make a run for it.

CLOSER THAN YOU KNOW Out of my league Leap into the big sky Into the deep When we're together Whatever the weather When we're laughing See us together Just when we set off the spark And it's a raging fire A fire rising like moonlight out of the dark We're closer than you know We're closer than you know I'm holding out for you now We're closer than you know I held out my hand Just like the first time When we first began And even after a thousand years Your smile will still haunt me where I stand When we're laughing See us together Chasing the dawn from the night When we're laughing Like it's forever But forever is in our sight We're closer than you know We're closer than you know I'm holding out for you now We're closer than you know

Human 03:44
HUMAN When you think you are free
But you’re still not free to think When your mind is being read It’s hard to draw a blank When everything is new It can change your whole world view So how do you see it 
When you know you’ve been lied to? You’re learning to be Learning to be Learning to be human You would die for the regime When you’re born to love the king Like a puppet on a string Believing they could do anything to you A fish is not aware of water
And will drown out in the air In a world that is your prison
 They say it’s way worse way out there If you learn to count your money You won’t need to go to school People pushed against a cage Will learn to bend the rules If you start to speak your mind You’ll be target number one
So become so famous they cannot hurt you And keep on keeping on So follow that star to freedom Till you become that star That leads to books, to songs, to news, to movies To speak to who we are

LYRICS THE LEAVES OF AUTUMN The stars here burn so brightly Billions of light years away See the ghosts of stars long gone Feel the depths of the milky way First light creeps in slowly You wonder what might be revealed As a new scene opens up That nights curtain had concealed And the first taste of fall colours Melts like honey to a tongue And the golden light is morning light Shining on the leaves of autumn All the leaves of autumn All the leaves of fall Painters capture what they can But they can’t compete With the gentle hand of natures command Of colours we can barely speak It’s a big bouquet by the full light of day It’s a flare at sundown With crimson blush and a burgundy burst When the breeze blows the leaves around And the season turns when the red leaves burn And the maple trees retire And the birch bark knows when cold wind blows The snow is soon to fly, fly All the leaves of autumn All the leaves of fall

WHERE I’M MEANT TO BE (JAMES TOOLEY PRISON SONG) My work is for the downtrodden children of this nation From the poorest of the poor, to the black market generation I’m commonly known as the Indiana Jones of education The detective took my statement in a distracted sort of way Telling me there is nothing to fear and this will all soon go away Now I’m a prisoner waiting bail for a bribe I refused to pay The local inmates gather round when I arrive I’ll have to pull myself together here if I want to stay alive But right away they share their food and everything I need to survive I wake up to the alarm of the morning call to prayer The most terrifying wistful sound that will stay with me from there Like the howls of cats screeching crescendos in the cold night air I will write my prison story down in the margins of this book Around the great words of Gandhi and the chances that he took And all of us are guilty and the others they are crooked and corrupt It was never my intention for this to be my legacy So where I am today is not where I’m meant to be We sit in the shade of a fruit tree My newfound friends and I on sheets of cardboard around me And nobody feels fear only friendship over a cup of tea You can lose yourself completely in a crowded prison cell Yet no one here appears to be sorry for themselves They say we’ll all be out tomorrow but they’re joking I can surely tell The days blur all together the simple pleasures they are few Freedom’s not a word for nothing left to lose When everything is gone the only one left is you It was never my intention for this to be my legacy So where I am today is not where I’m meant to be

FORCE OF NATURE There's a river running deep through the old plateau And a force of the nature can't be stopped or slowed You learn the pattern of the wind blowing wild across the plain Feel the beating of the sun and the pulsing in your veins And in the heart of all this darkness there's a thundering sound And you can see it in the rain and hear it rumbling in the ground You feel it pounding in your head And you taste it in your blood And it's telling you to keep moving And get ready for the flood There's a break in the dam and a crack in the earth And how many deaths will rise from its berth? And crumble the statues of men that are broken And take back the dreams they had stolen And the ones who try to stop it will be lost in the flood As the river drowns them out and they are buried in the mud They'll be forgotten in the pages of their own history And their legacy will fall to myth and mystery There's a river running deep through the old plateau And you can't stop the water or the melting of the snow A force like this can’t be organized or planned You can't stop a force of nature bringing freedom to the land

L’ANSE AUX MEADOWS Few had tried Dared to dream Till the day we sailed the seas Some of us never to return Some secrets left untold And I will see you there In the meadows of Vinland In the dew by the brook Where my love and I did lay Where the clear waters flow Where our baby was born And I will dream of you And or sweet baby In L'Anse aux Meadows In L'Anse aux Meadows So the story goes Where coals fires embers glow In the whispering wind By the meadows of Vinland Our new home in Newfoundland And I will dream of you in L'Anse aux Meadows As we stand here today Where the iron turns to gold Some secrets still remain Locked in the soil And I will dream of you When they lay my bones in L'Anse aux Meadows In L'Anse aux Meadows So the story goes Where coals fires embers glow In the whispering wind By the meadows of Vinland Our new home in Newfoundland And I will dream of you in L'Anse aux Meadows Íslands þúsund ár, Íslands þúsund ár! eitt eilífðar smáblóm með titrandi tár,

ARTIST OF LIFE Tender white hands You’d sear the only work she knew was love Stony green eyes You’d sear she watched the only work she knew Slip through those fingers But the pictures she paints are alive With the colour of a love that lingers In the room up the stair In the soul living there In the heart of an artist of life Temple bells ring A melancholy beauty in their hollow timbre Memories thrive On sounds that were alive the day that they were born, Remember That the sadness you feel is the child Of a beauty of a love so tender That survives up the stair In the soul living there In the heart of an artist of life
